Good thing I was by myself that was the first time I have driven the GT3 on the track with traffic. THis does not coddle you like a TT. I lost the rear end several times in cotton corners.

 

some more

 

The folks at Buttonwillow are so friendly they put a porta potty out on the track for us to use-I am passing it now

 

this cute corner worker here kept waving at me

 

last one --I was following this guy in this BMW and he was having problems in Cotton corners too (CW configuration)
and he got sideways in front of me
He has Stability control and I dont!
and he got side ways in the same spot I was having problems.

 

nice, paul ;-)

 

Looks like a great time! Hope it was fun.

 

Looks like you enjoyed it! Looks like it was loads of fun! Nice pictures

 

THanks
I did have some problems with tire pressure
At 8 am the ambient was 55 WHen I got done my rears were 42
the next run the ambient was 77 and I took some air out of the tires and my rears were 42 again! I wanted 38/40
the next run the ambient was 100! I got off and my rears were 43!! So I never figured out how to manage ambient and the tires
probably had a lot to do with my Cottn corner prob.

 

ah, cotton corner....
key is to slow the way hell down, then get on power for the last turn and then full throttle up to 4th gear then down to 3rd for the bus stop before the big sweeper. this is CW direction.

 

NOW you tell me......
Never had a problem with the TT there

Yes the CW direction. See John you shoulda been there to help your student!!

 

No doubt the track gets hot! Nitrogen fill for the Corsas is a good thing for my cars. Sorry I missed the recent event,I really like the track.

Cheers

Looks great Paul.....

 

I like BW too but I could have done without the bus-stop.

 

Mooty is 100% correct, the key to BW is drive the slow corners slow and the fast corners fast. Most do the opposite . . .
